PALINURO'S WORK

Concept

For several years now I have been working with different media and artistic typologies, simultaneously carrying out different lines of research both in the pictorial field, where I work in thematic cycles, and in the field of plastic arts, ranging from subtractive sculpture with found stone material, to assemblies and installations. , often combining recycled materials and waste.
In the pictorial cycles the themes are often of a historical-political character and of social denunciation, as in the ""work"" or ""face mask"" cycle with references to the First World War and the Spanish epidemic. The painting technique I use reflects the studies I made on 17th century European painting, both on materials and on operational methodologies.
While in the sculptural works I operate in a less clear way, always dealing with issues of a socio-political nature but through the use of materials, their recovery and transformation. From waste to aesthetic object not for the simple Duschampian ready-made, but for the manual transformation of the object-waste that is transformed into an aesthetic object with manual and re-creative work as in ""Time machine"".
I also like to tackle the site-specific, always stimulating for an artist who has to dialogue with a certain context without imposing his will and ego, with this in mind I worked with the methods of land art in works such as ""Golden fish"". Ultimately I try to make the most of my talent to be able to say and make people reflect on some socio-political and cultural issues."
